Henry Hyena, Why Won't You Laugh?

This is an excellent children's book. It's not only an enjoyable read for kids and adults but also teaches a very good message. It's a good springboard for discussing your child's talents and how they can use those talents for positive effects rather than negative ones. Just like good leadership skills can be used for being organized and inspirational or for being bossy. Animals are used to tell the story and teach the lesson, which is fun for the children and works better than direct orders from adults. Henry Hyena comes to realize that laughing at others is hurtful. Henry shows emotional maturity in recognizing how his feelings are changing and taking action to make himself feel better, which is a great lesson that children can take to heart through this story.

Sweet and educational book for pre-K and elementary kiddos. Illustrations are adorable and the message is to the point and understandable for young ones. My 3 and 5 year old love reading this book. They ask questions about why laughing is the same as being "mean." And if your friends are laughing, why can't you laugh. This book immediately teaches kids about bullying, kindness, and friendship - and in a way they understand. The book also has wonderful illustrations of zoo animals. Really cute book for kids and adults. I will be gifting this book for all upcoming birthdays. And I will be looking out for more books from this author!

This is one of the most delightful picture books I have seen recently. The rhyming narrative is exceptionally clever and will tickle the funny bones of adults and children alike. I loved the charming, colorful illustrations and the story's simple but powerful message about the importance of being kind to one another. I'm really hoping my school library will carry this title because it is not only amusing but also teaches children about the harmful effects of bullying. I can't wait to read it to my own class of preschoolers!

I bought this book for my 2 year old last week and it's his new favorite book. We've read the book so many times this week that he's memorized parts of the book.As a parent I like the book for its anti-bullying message. I'd highly recommend this book to any parents of young kids.

I read this story to my five-year-old granddaughter, who understood the story’s intended message without me having to say anything to her. She loved the story and the illustrations. This is a great book for children of all ages. Its message is timeless.

Sweet story with a good lesson about being kind.

Received this book last week and my 4-year old and I enjoy reading it before bedtime. It presents a good message in a fun way, is very well written and the illustrations are great as well. Would recommend.

Funny book and great for children!
